Homeless Man Held on $8,000 Bail in NYC Attack on 94-Year-Old

A 31-year-old homeless man was arrested and held on $8,000 bail for allegedly sucker-punching a 94-year-old retired doctor outside an Upper East Side Apple store.

Police say Lewis Reynolds attacked the victim Tuesday in the vestibule of the Madison Avenue store near East 74th Street, causing the elderly man to fall.

Reynolds was arrested Friday and charged with second- and third-degree assault. He pleaded not guilty during his arraignment early Saturday.

Court Appearance and Bail

Reynolds, wearing a black t-shirt and gray sweatpants, appeared disheveled in court.

His Legal Aid attorney argued he leads “a law-abiding life” with gig work in delivery and construction, and claimed he has a stable residence.

The judge rejected the claim, citing Reynolds’ “limited ties” to New York City and family connections in California, calling him “somewhat of a flight risk.”

Victim Recalls ‘Traumatic’ Attack

The victim, who identified himself only as Moshe, told The Post he had just bought a new Apple Watch when Reynolds — who had been causing a disturbance with other customers — suddenly punched him without warning.

Moshe and his 78-year-old girlfriend were waiting for the situation to calm down when the blow landed. “She immediately ran after him, and in the meantime, I was falling,” he said.

He refused medical attention but suffered a large bruise under his left cheekbone and says he is still shaken. “I’m still under that feeling of insecurity… maybe if I walked on the street, this may happen again to me or to somebody else.”

One of the 13% doing what the 13% do best. What a manly man he is, punching a NINETY-FOUR YEAR OLD for absolutely no reason. What fine parenting he must’ve had.
